Open Letter to the Public
I wanted the local newspaper to publish the following letter. I was hoping that some of the public in the small town we live in would come forward for the sake of X (child), but unfortunately the newspaper would not publish; their excuse, the public would have trouble understanding the letter. Open Letter to the […]

Anti-Smacking Law Tragic Failure as Child Abuse Death Rate Continues
Family First NZ says that the announcement of the death of three-year-old Auckland toddler Dylan Rimoni being treated as a homicide means that the rate of child abuse deaths has continued at the same rate as before the flawed anti-smacking law. “While good families are being investigated and thrown under suspicion because of the extremist […]

Inviting Media to Report on Family Court Cases
Avoid Relationship Services
I issue a general warning to avoid Relationship Services. I had an unpleasant experience with a fat feminasty counsellor there who would or could not answer clearly my questions about the circumstances in which she would breach confidentiality. She then accused me of being a controlling male abuser (although no assessment or information about me […]

Bank of NZ “Get Organized” Campaign
My letter today to the “Get Organized” Campaign. I will direct the letter to all of the sponsors of this campaign. “While I congratulate your efforts to reduce domestic violence, I note that your information entitled “The Numbers” is biased and sexist. You give information about how many women are killed by their (ex) partners […]
Prostitution in the PC (politically conformist) era
FYI, my other email today: Dear Morning Report Team Your article this morning entitled “Campaign to Legalize Prostitution in the UK” was disappointing. The interviewer blithely accepted everything the interviewees claimed and treated an important issue as if covering a light-hearted school play. When interviewee “Shirley” referred to a Nevada brothel she had visited as […]

ALAC Advertisements Are Sexist
FYI, my email to ALAC today. I also sent an email to National Radio expressing disappointment that in its interviews about all kinds of aspects of these ads, nothing was said about their glaring sexism. Dear ALAC, I am not bothered by the shocking nature of your latest television advertisements, and I commend your aims. […]
“Status Quo”

Covert Sexism
FYI, below is my email to National Radio this morning regarding articles on Sunday morning news broadcasts covering the huge coolstore explosion and fire in Hamilton. I note that the Herald’s article on the web made it clear that all the injured were men and even repeatedly used the term “firemen”, but the Waikato Times […]
Greens Get Gender Wobbles
Male Victims Don’t Matter
An interesting article on National Radio’s “Nine to Noon” today about dangers to tourists in Thailand. (The article will be available on internet for a week, but I have a copy if anyone is interested after that.) Following the murder of a Swedish woman on a beach in Phuket, the Thai Tourism Ministry is giving […]
